    Default No Time to Die (spoilers)

    I just finished this. I thought it was very good.

    It's very much in the Casino Royale/Skyfall mould in that it's a much, much, much more personal James Bond movie.

    The plot was a little wonky with the "bioweapon" thing and the villain a little weaker (that's not to say that Rami Malek did a bad job, just that he wasn't really in the movie all that much).

    The action sequences were brilliant though and lots of them featured single, long takes which is always welcome. The sheer brutality of the fights was a bit surprising for a PG-13 film. The movie even got an F-bomb in.

    That ending though..very intriguing. I guess this is cleaning the deck for an entirely new type of James Bond. But I don't know why modern film makers feel the need to end the heroes journey in death. In this instance it just seemed rather unnecessary especially now that James Bond had a family.

    The anti-SJW crowd have been crying about the movie...people really need to watch the stuff their critiquing because this movie did not have any overt political message (except if people are offended by Q being gay or a black, female 007...who gave the title designation right back to James Bond in the middle of the film). Honestly, these guys sound so fragile its unbelievable.

    All in all, I'd give No Time to Die an 8/10. It's a good send-off for the Daniel Craig era of James Bond.
